[Activist_List] Likely Multiple Sclerosis cure found, MS societies in panic (Aspartame Disease precipitates MS)

[Guest guest]

This would not be the cure for all MS since

aspartame is the largest precipitator there is of

MS. It also can mimic it. Here is a report that

has Dr. Russell Blaylock's (neurosurgeon) paper

on the connection between MS and aspartame and

how to get an MS patient out of a wheelchair, Dr.

H. J. Roberts paper MS or Aspartame Disease?,

the case of an MS patient who proved it to her

neurologist by getting back on aspartame again,

so the symptoms return could be recorded, the

medical texts that go into detail on how

aspartame disease precipitates MS, and mentions

the movie, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World,

produced by Cori Brackett who spent many years in

a wheelchair. As an aspartame disease case of MS

she could barely walk or talk and had one of the

largest lesions ever diagnosed in a MS

victim. Eight months off aspartame her large

lesion all but disappeared. She walked out of

her wheelchair off aspartame and as co-founder of

Sound and Fury Productions went on to produce

Sweet Misery. You can get a copy from her at cori

 

Here is that

article:

There are several articles also about it on

www.mpwhi.com by Dr. Woodrow Monte including

his new article: Methanol: A Chemical Trojan Horse.
